It’s a lovely morning in the village – and you are a horrible goose
Enter a world of comedy, chaos and calamity in Honk! Untitled Goose Exhibition, an exhibition that dives into the making of global-hit videogame Untitled Goose Game.
A game of stealth and slapstick about a naughty goose on the loose in an unsuspecting village, Untitled Goose Game was created by Victorian developers House House and released in 2019 to worldwide acclaim.
Critics applauded its gameplay and comedy, awarding it D.I.C.E. Game of the Year and BAFTA Games Award for Best Family and Social Game in 2020.
This interactive exhibition offers new insight into the creative development of this viral game sensation, through displays of previously unseen concept art, sketches and design material. These are presented alongside playable versions of the game from its early development, exhibited publicly for the first time. Appealing to both videogame experts and the uninitiated, Honk! offers insights into game’s hilariously mischievous humour and development, and its referencing of slapstick history and comedic stylings back through a century of film and television.
